Kansas' five seniors, working on their fourth straight Big 12 title, celebrated their final home game in style, each getting on the scoreboard during a 109-51 humiliation of Texas Tech, reports the Kansas City Star. Russell Robinson led six players in double-figures with 15 points as KU finished the season unbeaten at Allen Fieldhouse for the 14th time in the building's 53-year history.

Kansas coach Bill Self clearly tried not to run it up, shuffling in little-used players throughout the second half who, much to his chagrin, continued to knock down shots. For Texas Tech coach Pat Knight, an upset win over No. 5 Texas Saturday has been sandwiched by the two worst defeats in school history - with tonight's 58-point whipping the biggest.
